What a return to gigging this year ! The fat fox was fully rammed and sold out ! 150 tickets all gobbled up by mostly S.M.I. Crew ! It was a fantastic turn out and felt so good to us all to let off some steam and rock tha funk out ! The dance floor was totally full from front to back with the usual suspects throwing some gangsta shapes at the front

Big up to our pals Bigtopp ! They rocked it as always ! Check em out

Many thanks to Dabnuts promotions for tha booking !

We had an awesome night up in the ol dome again ! pulled in a good audience who were dancing along and chanting for more ! Loved it ! plus free food,drink n beer ! Awesome. We also found out on the day that Shaun Ryder cancelled his tour so that was a bit of a downer but all in all we had a great weekend together and grew stronger as a unit ! Big up to Sylvia for all her work on the show and thanks to the December sessions crew for making us feel welcome.

James Rizzi — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:57:52 +0000

Wow ! What a night…………Big up to Culture cuts for providing the Grooves ! check em at www.culturecuts.co.uk ! Awesome guys

A huge huge thank you to local Photographer,Ledgend and close friend Harvey Mills who designed and put together all the album artwork….we are so pleased with the result ! Big up yourself !

It was so good to see so many people from our past,present and future all rocking out,dancing and coming together to enjoy the vibes ! That is what the S.M.I.’s are all about,good people letting loose and having a great time to some raw, live, heartfelt music….

It felt fitting to hold the event right @ home in the heart of Hayling as we all felt confident and passionate about showing our home and fam a real good time, plus it will always be our base and foundation. The core of the S.M.I. sound was born,shaped and moulded with the help of the island, the south coast and its community and is a constant inspiration for us. We also managed to get two more awesome gigs and some good contacts out of this show !

We are happy with the C.D.and chuffed that we can now go promote it and get it out there but also move onto the next one ! we have so much more to give and will keep on creating more fresh jams for ya’ll . You can purchase the Album for £5 by getting into contact with us on this site on Facebook or by givng us a call. As soon as we have got it up online for download etc we will let you all know….

Big love to you all ………keep it real
